Q: A girl from my hometown recently separated from her boyfriend (of a very long time) last week. While we didn't really talk much in high school, we still knew each other, and over the past year or so we've begun to talk a lot more and realized we have a lot in common. I know she used to like me (back in high school) and asks why I never asked her out back then (because she had a boyfriend). We got really close this past summer, and I feel we could have made something of it had she been single (but I could have been misreading things, as I often do). Then we had to go back to school, and gradually lost touch as we became busier and busier, and I hadn't talked to her in about 4 weeks until a few days ago (because of a semester from hell).

Anyway, I really, really like this girl, and want to ask her out, but the timing just seems terrible. I head back for my final semester in a couple weeks, and while I wouldn't mind driving a few hours on the weekend to take her out, it's ju st not the best way to get anything started. Is there a way to let her know I'm interested so she at least keeps me in mind before she runs off with some other guy? I really just don't want to waste the opportunity of her single-ness again, and would like to see something happen before I head back to school.

And all this is assuming she'd be interested in making the transition to being more than friends.

A: Ask her to hang out and just don’t make it so date-like so it seems more like you’re hanging out after a breakup instead of hitting on her after a breakup. If you’re both into each other then it’ll end up being a date anyway and you don’t seem like the bad guy.

Hope that helps!
